Ben Kingsley
That hunger of the flesh, that longing for ease, that terror of incarceration, that insistence on tribal honour being obeyed: all of that exists, and it exists everywhere.
Ben Kingsley
There's so much crap talked about acting.
Ben Kingsley

Ben Kingsley
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
Ben Kingsley
